South Africa hosts 2024 ICC U19 Cricket World Cup
South Africa will be hosting the 2024 International Cricket Council (ICC) Under 19 Cricket World Cup from 20 January to 11 February 2024.
The event was initially scheduled to take place in Sri Lanka, however, the ICC Board decided to move this tournament from Sri Lanka and awarded it to South Africa.
Sri Lanka are free to compete internationally but next year’s Under-19 Cricket World Cup will now be hosted in Sourh Africa.
“The move was taken as a consequence of the ICC provisionally suspending Sri Lanka Cricket due to extensive government interference in the board’s administration. Sixteen countries are expected to participate. No government funding is required. The International Cricket Council and Cricket South Africa will provide funding for the tournament,” Kodwa said.
The event will take place at the following venues:
Buffalo Park Cricket Stadium, East London
Diamond Oval, Kimberley
JB Marks Oval, Potchefstroom
Mangaung Oval, Bloemfontein
Willowmore Park, Benoni
